The Knight Report will look back at the 2022 football season with the help of SportSource Analytics to give our subscribers the most in-depth analytics of the season. The first thing we'll looked at was Field Zone Offensive Drive Breakdown.

Next up is Coming Out Tendencies – First 3 Plays of the Drive. We'll see what Rutgers does and if they were successful at it.
